Best Gingerbread House 2023

Do you remember being a kid and delving into the magical realm of Candyland, where you’d race down a road and encounter tasty surprises on your way to Peppermint Forest, Frontline’s Ice Palace, and more? Well, if you’re looking to pass along this childhood memory to your kids, then you’ll love this Candyland gingerbread house kit.

It comes with everything you need to assemble and decorate the house pieces: royal icing that keeps the house together, gingerbread cookies, candy, scene setters, and a tray. A few reviewers said that their gingerbread house arrived broken in the mail, which puts a risk on ordering this one.

This gingerbread house kit is the perfect gift for a group of kids looking for a creative (and tasty) activity to do together. This one is unique for being not just a single house, but an entire village. Plus, the box includes all of the building materials, from gingerbread panels and icing for assembly to a green fondant, different icing mixes with pastry bags, and candy for decorating.

The four houses can be designed and decorated in a variety of ways and the gingerbread house template that comes in the box will tell you how to do so. Some reviewers find this one hard to both put and stay together, but it could be a fun challenge if you and the kids are up for it.

It may be hard for you not to snack on this gingerbread house while building it. The Godiva Chocolate Holiday House Kit includes the iconic chocolate candies from Belgium, which are placed in the box as heart-shaped, little dark pieces of chocolate (yum!). In addition, you’ll receive pretty candy jewels, tiny cookies and candy bananas, festive cookie characters, icing, and a starter tray.

Considering all of the unique decoration pieces and delicious candies you get with this kit, we believe that it’s a decent bang for your buck.

If you’re looking for the best gingerbread house kit for your dollar, then this one will be your best bet. It includes two full-size houses at the same price as a single gingerbread house kit. You will receive six gingerbread pieces, candy that can be used as side and roof pieces, Christmas sequins and beads, icing with piping bags, and trays to keep the counter clean while decorating.

Many reviewers find this one very easy to assemble and enjoyable, while others say theirs arrived broken in the mail.

If the taste of gingerbread isn’t you or your kids’ cup of tea, then you can’t go wrong with these two classic candies: OREO and Sour Patch kids! The box comes with two separate holiday houses that come with everything you need to assemble each house.

For the OREO holiday house, you’ll receive chocolate cookies, creme flavored icing, OREO sandwich cookies, and pieces of candy to decorate your gingerbread house. For the Sour Patch Kids holiday house, you’ll find icing, sour patch kids, cookies, and other tiny candies in the box.

Although many reviewers don’t love the taste of these holiday houses, they still enjoyed building them and bonding with their kids in the process. They also found these houses to be smaller than expected, so if you’re looking for a gingerbread house that’s greater in size, then this kit may not be the best choice for you.
